My Last Day at FedEx…Forever
March 23, 2007
This post has been sitting here waiting for something for too long:
I have toiled and grinded out the last 6.5 years working for one of the most respected companies in the world. What can be said about moving on. Adios Amigos. On Friday February 23rd 2007 I will put on the FedEx uniform for the last time. I will Scan and VAN and POD packages for the last time. I will look at my watch at 10:25 am for the last time. I will climb a 3 floor walk up for the last time. I will argue over who takes which package for the last time. I will double park, illegally park and not pay the meter …for the last time. No more hot summer days with a truck interior temperature of 118 F. No more Slushy, cold , windy days. No more “Oh I don’t sign for that” bullshit. None of it.
I have to say that FedEx has done me pretty good for those six very long years. I had a part -time job with health and pension benefits. FedEx paid for some of my undergrad college tuition. I used the FedEx flight benefits to travel. I even shipped stuff for real cheap.
A co-worker of mine said to me the other day that there are assholes everywhere you work. and I have to agree with him. Even in my career choice of teaching Social Studies there will be principals and co-workers who do not make my life easier. In fact they will frustrate me to no end. That being said, I will be happier, so much happier, because of the goal I have in my job. Not to line the pockets of Fred Smith, or increase the value of the stocks of the shareholders of the Company, but to educate the kids of this Country. I do have a some what idealized view of how cool it will be to teach everyday. But it is such a noble goal, that I feel that the toils and hardships that come with it will be worth the extra effort.
Tells it like it is. Damn these corporate Capitialist who will eat their own, just to get a little richer.

Hey T-Mobile, It’s the Data Plan, you Morons!
February 27, 2007
It seems that there is a little blog-meme going on that T-mobile is not going to allow the download of third party apps onto their customers phones. Man these Telcos really don’t get it. Yea, in the short term they get more revenue from forcing people to buy apps through T-Zones, but how can one corporation predict the needs of all their customers? My brother just downloaded the gmail app for his e62. He would not have gotten the data plan if not for the app. The internet and broadband connection exploded because third parties made content and applications that the end user found useful and worth the extra money. If Road-runner did not allow a specific web-app (gmail, 30boxes) on its network, would it keep its customers? I don’t think so. T-Mobile has an opportunity to become the open cell platform in the U.S.A. This is a step backwards.
